Summary

Alberto Manguel: Fairy Tale Monsters

"A highly original examination of how literary heroes can turn books into guides to our lives, written by one of the world's most important book lovers. Alberto Mangel charmingly and eruditely examines how literary characters live with us from childhood onwards. Through the years, they shed their identities and emerge from their stories to teach us the complexities of love, loss and the world itself... Sharing with us his unique powers of reading, Mangel encourages us to establish our own literary relationships. An intimate introduction and his personal "scribbles" complete this beautiful, magical book." - Barnes & Noble

"A fun, riotous journey through Wonderland from one of our most voracious and greatest readers." - Margaret Atwood, Twitter

"Fictional characters seem more alive than our flesh-and-blood friends. They come from very different sources - novels, fairy tales, biblical stories, mythology. Manguel's whimsical illustrations add a charming touch to this already winning set." - Publishers Weekly
